Washington Post: There is a strong
and healthy moral to be drawn from
the example OF Hercules Kittson, the
millionaire's son, who tell among
thieves and prostitutes, and woke up
from q drunken debauch to find that
he had married one. That is, that
nothing but self-reliance and hard
work will savesuch eilded youths from
ruin. "Turn 'em out turn 'em out"
shouted Commodore Vanderbilt to
"Bnl" concerning hisgrandsons, turn

Missionary Work in Alaska.

''The Greek church seems exactly to
meet the needs of the Innuits or Esqui-
maux," said Mr.. Eliot, "but COM ara
lively little progress has been made toward
the conversion OF the Indians. There has
been a mission church at Sitka ever since
1903, but the experience of the Russian
missionaries was not very different from
that of our own. The Indians become
very pious and are eager to join the
church, if they get enough tobacco and
red cloth; but when once the distribution
has been made their zeal cools off, and it
takes an equal amount of tobacco and red
cloth to arouse their interest again the
next year. / think that the net result of
eighty years of missionary work among
the Indians of Sitks is that they are a
little more degraded than they were at
the beginning of the century, and this
through no fault of the missionaries.
What mean to say is that contact with
degraded white men has q little more
than offset the elevating effects Of the
teaching and example Of the missionaries. -

English idea of FUN.

At the New club dance an entirely novel
feature contributed to the success Of very
successful evening. Just as the dancing
was at its height some one--one Of those
individuals who escape detection in a
crowd-let fall box full Of wax matches,
or fusees, the contents of which became
thlckly strewn upon the parquet Then,
as the young people came tripping along,
"Oh, what a surpriser' Popi crack off
went the matches under the gossamer
skirts Of the fair dancers, emitting as they
did so tiny flame. Loudly the Washers
laughed, for the fun was not without that
element of danger which is dear to the
heart OF every Briton. Some of the elders.
percelving this, ordered waiter to pick
up the matches. Happily there was no
accident, while the presenee of Cant shaw
quickly restored the confidence of those
who had been alarmed by the incident. -

SURE DEATH ON RATS.

How q Woman Solved . Vacations Prob
lem IN Domestic Life.
Mrs. Benedict's business is that of q
ratcatcher, new profession now fairly
opened to women, and one which Mrs.
Benedict at least has made lucrative.
The business Of rat determination is not
strictly new, and yet Mrs. Benedict Is
fairly entitled to rank as its inventor, at
least in an important sense. She has
raised it to the dignity of a profession.
The problem has been how to kill the rats
without bringing unpleasant odors into
the house.
Mr.. Benedict has found out how to
induce rats to die on the kitchen floor.
Like many inventors, she is somewhat in
debted to accident. She was engaged, it
appears, in the domestic manufacture OF
plaster casts of various kinds. One of her
devices was to mix wheaton -four with her
pulverized plaster of Paris, so that the
gluten Of the -four might make the paste
less brittle. One evening she had visitors
who rang the bell just as she was sitting
the mixed plaster and -four for the third
time by way of mixing them intimately,
as the chemist says. She had already set
a dish of water at hand, intending to make
an experimental cast at once, and when
the door bell rang she hastily removed her
apron and went to welcome her guests,
leaving her materials upon the kitchen.
Her guests stayed until bedtime, and
when they babe her adieu, Mrs. Benedict
went to bed without returning to the kit
chen.
What happened in the night was this;
A rat made his way up the legs of the
table to the top, where he was speedily
Joined by others. The dish of -four and
plaster was easily reached, and the rats
ate freely and hastily of it, as it is their
custom to do. 1t was a rather dry sup
per, and water being near, each rat
turned to drink. The water drunk first
wet the plaster in the rats stomachs, and
then, in teehnichal phrase, "set' it; that
is to say, the plaster thus made into
PASTE instantly grew hard in each rats
stomach and put an end to. any exercise
of that organ. The rats decided Mr..
Mallock's question: els life worth nv-
ing2'' in the negative without quitting
the table. The next morning thirteen of
them lay dead in a circle around the
water dish. Mrs. Benedict, when she
entered the kitchen for the purpose of
making her fire, saw them and acted
that is to say, she screamed and climbed
upon a chair From that position she
studied the scene, and very soon saw the
cause Like a wise woman, she kept her
secret and made profit of it. She under
took, for a consideration, to clear the
premises of her neighbors of the pests.

THE LAST FURRow.

The spirit of EARTH with glad, restoring hands,
Mid ruin moves, in g,immering chasm gropea
And MOSES mantle and the bright flower opeS,
But Death the Plowman wanders in al lands,
And to the last of earth his furrow stands.
The grave is never hidden; fearful hopes
Follow the dead upon the fading slopes,
And there wild memories meet upon the sands.
When willows fling their banners to the plain,
When rumor of winds and sound of sudden
showers
Disturb the dream of winter-an In vain
The grasses hurry to the graves, the flowers
Toss their wild torches ON their windy towers;
Yet are the bleak graves lonely in the rain.
